It is not inappropriate to add that one of these inscriptions reads: “Branan, son of Ochal,” and that the decipherer (the Rev. Edmond Barry, M.R.I.A.) identifies this latter name with “the name of a King of the Fairies of Connaught (Ri Side Connacht)”: op. cit., pp. 524-525. The Ardtole souterrain is described in the Journal of the same Society (July-October, 1889, p. 245), by Mr. Seaton F. Milligan, M.R.I.A.; and the one in Sutherlandshire is referred to by Dr. Joseph Anderson (at p. 289 of “Scotland in Pagan Times: The Iron Age,” Edinburgh, 1883).]
